All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Size issue, age issue, and lack of reading defenses are the big three red flags so far.
Its still early, I want to see more. But on his raw ability to throw the ball, he has everything you want. Size I would agree with except for guys like Brees or Steve Young (fellow BYU alumn). I dont think its a huge issue at 6' 1", provided he has throwing lanes and can see over the linemen. Age is age, a few years older (24) doesn't necessarily hurt with players playing into the late 30's.
I want to see more from him. Numbers wise hes done more than enough, but I don't put huge stock in those... Id rather evaluate him by watching him.
Is BYU able to produce NFL quality QB's or not? Better yet, is there data to suggest that they have a lower NFL success rate than other colleges?
Non Traditional Offense programs do produce NFL caliber QB's at a lower percentage. How many awesome QB's has Texas Tech produced since they went to the throw it 90 times a game method?
COMING SOON...

Come on, we cant hen pick.
Hawaii, Texas Tech, there's plenty like that I agree.
There's also plenty of pro style offensive teams that dont always put out starting quality QB's.
Ok, Brady played at Michigan, who else was so great from there?
How about Tenessee? and Purdue?
Notre Dame? Nebraska?
Take your pick.
The ability of one specific program to produce an NFL QB isn't the question though. Its what system best produces NFL QB's and that data is clear. NFL style offenses produce NFL ready QB's.
Matt Ryan in Boston College is another great example.

This talks about this exact issue and points to Flacco as being a guy who ran a lot from the shotgun:

I like this comment "That's why you have to watch each player individually before you make a projection"
Its something to consider and like anything else, you would rather stack the deck for you instead of against you, but I don't think you can automatically discard someone just because they play in a pass happy offense.
